*--- Final call ---*

*IFHHRO Global Training of Trainers:*

*Developing Human Rights Training Courses for Health Workers*

***Utrecht****, the Netherlands 21 – 25 November 2011*

*Course Content
*Due to the nature of their profession health workers inevitably play a role
in the protection and realisation of health related human rights.****

What exactly does this role mean in practice?
What do health workers need to know about human rights?
How can human rights best be explained to health workers?
What are ways to stimulate health workers to take up their role in relation
to human rights?****

These are the leading questions which will be addressed during the IFHHRO
Global Training of Trainers on Developing Human Rights Training Courses for
Health Workers.****

*Learning Objectives
*At the end of the training, participants will:
-        have a practical understanding of a rights-based approach to health
-        have insight in the different dimensions of the human rights role
of health workers
-        know how to stimulate health workers to undertake action in the
field of health and human rights
-        be able to design and adapt human rights training materials for
their own target group

course for health workers
**

*Programme
*The preliminary programme is available on the IFHHRO
website<http://ifhhro.org/images/stories/ifhhro/events/preliminary_programme_tot.pdf>
****

*Training methods
*This course is based on the participatory methods developed for the IFHHRO
online training manual <http://www.ifhhro-training-manual.org/>.  This
manual shares materials specifically designed to train health workers in
health and human rights issues. The materials bridge the gap between the
legal conceptualization of the right to health and the daily practice of
health workers. An active role of the participants is expected through
sharing their own experiences and practicing training skills.****

*What participants have said about previous IFHHRO training courses**:*****

*I wish to thank you for the opportunity to participate in the TOTs global
training. It was a wonderful learning experience and I now feel well
equipped in planning, preparing and conducting trainings.  The various
interactive methods applied by the trainers were a mind opener. The
innovative techniques ranging from board games, photo-matching, case
studies, role plays, site visit revealed to me that there is more to
effective training than good old power point presentations. The
international representation of participants spiced up the discussions and
sharing of experiences and enabled me to make new contacts, thus widening
and strengthening IMLU's networks. My new skills will go a long way in
improving the quality of my training work and therefore of IMLU's training
programmes. *

Dr. Joan Nyanyuki, Independent Medico-Legal Unit (IMLU), ****Kenya********

*Lots of info on content AND methods. The course systematized a lot of
complex elements about training. Very innovative, inspiring and practical.*

*I would like to say that the ToT was an eye-opener. We already started to
use some of the techniques in our own training programme.*
